Dear Colleagues
Re: Throw Away The Mouse - 18 January 2006
This one-day course is primarily intended to provide participants with an introduction to the way in which computers can be used without the mouse and highlights the benefits to all users, especially those with a visual impairment. It also aims to raise awareness of a variety of different access technologies that may be used.
The programme will be delivered through personal presentation, video presentation, group discussion, demonstration and, in particular practical use by participants of a computer with no mouse.
Participants will apply their new knowledge in practical sessions to ensure they have understood the concepts.
At the end of the course participants should be able to:
1. Understand how a pupil with sight loss should use a computer
2. Use a computer without mouse or monitor in the same way as a pupil with sight loss would do
3. Have an awareness a range of different technologies that can be used with pupils who have sight loss
